Another search in house of Crimean Tatar in Crimea

This time the security service came to Tofik Abdulgaziev.

On the morning of May 4, FSB officers searched the house of Tofik Abdulgaziyev in Simferopol (Novaya Str. 28), activist Anna Bogacheva reported on Facebook.

After the search, Tofik Abdulgaziev said that the security forces were looking for documents of a missing person in his house.

"I have nothing to do with this man. They found nothing. Computer and phones are not taken away. They behaved politely, put shoe covers on their feet and went into the house," the Crimean activist Remzi Bekirov said in a video commentary.

However, later the security officers returned and took Tofik Abdulgaziyev for interrogation.

"The offenders allegedly came to the wrong address, but later came back and Tofik Abdulgaziev was summoned for interrogation," Ahmad Rustem Oglu said.

Earlier QHA reported that, on the morning of April 13 in Bakhchysarai (in Russian occupied Crimea) Russian security forces broke into the homes of two Crimean Tatars Seydamet Mustafayev and Riza Muzhdabaev. Russian Guard forces together with the OMON arrived to the place of the search as well.

Later, Russian security officials beat up Crimean Tatars, who came to support their neighbors, with clubs. According to eyewitnesses, shots were heard. One person is hospitalized.

Later it became known that Seidamet Mustafayev was detained after a search at his house. Five more people - the son and father Mustafa and Shevket Abduramanov, Eskender Memetov (the son of political prisoner Remzi Memetov), Remzi Zudiev and Midat Muzhdaba - were also detained and taken to the local police station.

Occupation law enforcers reported that searches in homes, detention and beating of Crimean Tatars in Bakhchysarai on the morning of April 13 were "planned measures" to "identify and detain persons involved in the activities of an organization Hizb ut-Tahrir banned in Russia."
